Introduction-

The normal weight of a child, at birth time, is about 3.5 kg. when he/she lives inside the uterus, he/she gets about 500 g protein, 14 g phosphorus, 24 g calcium and 4 g iron element through blood. All these elements play an important role in the growth of the child. Hence, all these elements have their own importance in the body of a pregnant besides other element that is needed for herself. A woman can fulfill the required element to her baby only when she is healthy and has all the essential elements needed for the nourishment of the baby in her body.

After conception, it is necessary for the pregnant to be careful about her health, because the growth of the baby inside the uterus goes on continuing. The baby needs essential elements daily. the growth of the embryo takes place in the last three months i.e. seventh, eighth and ninth month. After completing 9 months of pregnancy, the embryo is converted in to a full grown child. the weight of the child at this time included ¼ of his/her mother’s blood. Therefore, nutritive substances must have present in the diet of the pregnant in this period like- milk, cheese, ghee, fruits, etc. these substances are very beneficial for the pregnant. Addition to them, green vegetables and pulses also provide nutrition to her.

Today, in our country, many women do not able to get even normal food. Normally the pregnant eats in the last after serving all the members of her family but it is not enough for herself and her unborn baby. Therefore, she should take as much food as her appetite could calm down, because if she does not get appropriate food, she will give birth to weak child.

Appropriate food (balanced diet) is not only necessary for unborn child, but it is also important for good health of the pregnant. Normally, vomiting starts in a woman after conception. She vomits out whatever she eats. Due to it, she avoids eating anything and thinks that whatever she eaten will comes out.

The mother needs no any particular type of nutritive diet till 3 months after conception and she goes on nourishing the baby with her normal food, because in this period, the baby is present as the foetus (embryo).
